PARIS -- French stocks rose Tuesday, amid hopes that the stronger dollar would help French industrial exports and prompt another interest rate cut.

The CAC 40 index of blue-chip stocks gained 15.25 to 2132.90, in light volume of 3.3 billion francs. All financial markets, banks and government offices in France were closed Monday for a public holiday.
